I disagree. The whole nature of the EC is to emphasize the power of individual states. If one state says you're committed to your guy, and another allows change, then so be it. If a situation leads a state to reevaluate its procedures, then fine. There should be no top down revamping. Would I think the guy changing his vote to be a dirt bag? Yes. Guess what, we'll never rid the world of dirt bags or people looking for their 15 minutes regardless of method..

Man either get a better schtick or just give it up.

Why didn't you tell me about this stuff before my wife's birthday? I'm sending you the credit card bill.

Don't jump on me. I was just trying to clarify a statement. If true, it could be a goof up, it could be fraud. I would say that a standard part of any good procedure would be to check that the machines were "zeroed" out before being delivered to the polling place and then again before the polls opened. It sounds like the 2nd part happened, but not the first. I also doubt that pulling a lever 700 times is the only way to "rig" a machine, but I'm not an expert on the machines. Are you?

I think the claim (stressing: claim) is that the machines showed up with votes already tallied even though there were none cast yet.

You know, a libertarian. She helps you find books and stuff.

I hope you're not in charge of teaching kids the meaning of "are" or "our". For that matter, punctuation is free. Use it at will.

You talkin to me?

Oh!!!!! You meant Miney. You still can't spell. As for tomorrow, it is doubtful there will be any luck involved. There is not one close race in the booth I'll enter. The re-districting collusion has seen to that. Nothing like dems and repubs working together. Good luck to you to, but not your presidential candidate.

Typical idiot democrat. You can't even spell meenie, but you can vote for him.

Well I guess that's just the difference between you and the Viet Cong.

News flash Solo: If they have the internet in Alaska, that probably means they have it in NI. You'll have traded Eryn for a drunk Eryn posting in the middle of the US night. Bad move.

Rodney Harrison has them all beat in my book. He's not a loud mouth, he just tries to injure people week in and week out.

What countries is he talking about outside France, Russia, Germany and the countries already involved in Iraq? If he's trying to make a point about some specific countries why wouldn't he name them?

I was trying to leave the fights for the other threads, beacuse it is not exactly difficult to create or respond to other threads. I thought the tape I linked was something that everyone would view as worrisome and important. I guess not. I guess it is so unimportant, that it deserves to be mocked. I can honestly say that I'm disappointed.

Upper right corner..... Link

I'm not looking to pick a fight on this one. Here's a prayer that we all end up safe and none of this stuff comes to pass.

He and you have my thanks.

It would be a stupid question, to any president at any time in any debate. It displays a depth of thought below a third grade level. With that said, I would be genuinely interested if you could elaborate on your post.

How many times before 2004 have you seen this ridiculous question in a presidential debate? If he gave any answer, what would the follow question have been? Are the moderators in the business of supplying Kerry with campaign material? The net of this is that Bush did not fall in to an undisguised trap. Every person on the planet makes mistakes every day. Why do we need confirmation of this? Where does the buck stop? Where do the stupid questions stop?

You're having a good time...... You're not thinking about the Bills........ Some dude in a #96 jersey walks in and reminds you of a wasted 1st round pick, and the current state of affairs................. Voila................spoiled.

In the linked article: Link there was a comment that caught my attention: How "objective" should ABC or any news organization be? What do you think?

I have this weird feeling based on the last few AQ tapes, past statements and currently public information. These are tapes from Al Zawahiri (sp?), the supposed ABC tape and some previous statements from OBL. What are the odds that OBL tries to personally pull off a major suicide attack on US soil? For him to do this, I would have to believe it would involve act/acts larger than 9/11. To me it seems to piece together that this would be attempted. Is it possible? Ridiculous?

I think we should criticize everything Drudge reports. He has proven unreliable. A while back he seemed to imply that the illustrious Dan Rather had used forged documents in a 60 minutes II story. The nerve. First to break such an unfounded "scoop", but on top of it to question such a stalwart member of the press, a person with such high standards. How could he do this? Now he comes out and quotes the CIA and ABCNews as stating ABCNews has a tape. If he thinks ABCNews has a tape, shouldn't he go to a more reliable source than ABCNews to find out? He could have gone to Rather, but he's burned that bridge. Maybe he should call Katie Couric to find out if ABCNews has a tape. She might know.

To me that says a candidate must pay for their advertisements and not have them paid for by a corporation. Viacom (owner of VH1, MTV, etc.) charges for air time. This must mean the Kerry campaign has paid for the "video" advertisement by the group "Vote for Change" that they keep running. It's neat. They made it look just like a video with the credits at the beginning and end, etc. All sorts of cool people like REM, Springsteen, the Dixie Chicks and Daryl Hannah's favorite assailant are in it. To think that this has been legally paid for by Kerry. How clever. (Smiley used at the request of BiB)
